Pizza is a derived word from
Latin, which means flat bread. First created in Naples of Italy in 1889, this
delicacy is basically made in round shape, with main ingredients being the
flour with myriad toppings. At first, pizza was made as round bread topped with
basil, tomato sauce and cheese, so that the mixture of color would resemble the
flag of Italy. Ovens, which were fueled by burning woods, were used to bake the
first batches of pizzas. It is believed that a dish called ‘Foccocia’ made during the Common Era
might have influenced the invention of pizza.

pizza shop in Italy, which still exists. Italian Pizza, believed to be the
superior to all pizzas, is made from San Marzano tomato and is cooked within

Gradually, pizzas have been
experimented with tons of toppings and flavors. The popularity extended
